Im a big believer in block. I think its better for people to peruse all and block communities they are uninterested in and you should totally block users you don’t like. To me it should be like real life. Don’t hang with folks you don’t like. My hope for the fediverse is instances that only remove things to stay out of legal trouble and communities that only block things that are unrelated. I want all the big tools to be at the user level. Bottom up.

Not sure if I agree but many rights are so important its hard to put one over another. Speech is very high on my list and the use of valuable in the title is strange. I don’t see the qote anywhere in the article though but what they do say is powerful:

“I think of privacy from the framework of fundamental human rights, the rights of private communication, to live a private life, to think and do and communicate with who you want."

“We can’t build new worlds, we can’t imagine new paradigms without that incubation space, without the safety to experiment with ideas and think about what could work or not.”

ooh thats me and databases.

groups like the world science fiction society should be running federated servers and offering accounts as part of membership and running communities around their subject areas. It just makes so much sense to me.

lets not forget 911 ushered in the patriot act.

I keep wondering about aptera. They are just getting their production ready model going and I can’t help but think if they don’t have production to far setup in california they would be smarter to do it in ireland. The carbon fiber body comes from europe and the batteries from asia. So evern if they build it in the us it will suffer tariffs for like 2/3rds of the cost or higher and it will effect everything sold everywhere. If they built it in ireland then it would be way cheaper everywhere but the us and the us cost would not be all that much higher than it would be if they built it here. I assume anything else with such a diverse supply chain would be effected similarly. Like boeing vs airbus.

I don’t see one unless our society because less dependent on bullshit and honors privacy. I don’t know about anyone else but I constantly bullshit specifics about myself on line to dirty up any data collected on me.

aughts were not bad but it was falling and once we got in the teens ugh. oh and old man thing the pre www was advertisement free which was awesome.

Article talks mainly about career changes mostly. Speaks to me. Serial unemployment, change of careers, doing what you can. Im contemplating right now if I might need to change what I do again but its not like anything sticks out to go to.

lets not forget browbeating the fed to drop interest rates before covid hit.

who else thought something else when they read sailor worf?

videogames killed the radio star.

This sates my appetite but I still have internal questions because I have not been to spain. Like im picturing something like faulty towers but the desk moved to the opposite wall between the kitchen and dining room.

this makes me think of the dilbert where the lazy guy talks about reusing code from payroll on this project for airline software and warns his workmates to not fly on payday.

Ugh. I have the unfortunate situation that my favorite superheroes are doctor strange for marvel and green lantern for dc. I had sorta forgotten I had picked up multiverse of madness to watch. I was sorta meh on the first movie and was hoping the second would redeem it. To make matters worse I was sick of meh media in general and had finally decided to rewatch the firefly series. Firefly and lord of the rings are basically my two favorite things. I was putting off rewatching as long as I could. I had watched the broadcast and then rewatched when I bought the dvd (seeing the unaired episodes for the first time). I then did not watch till I broke down recently. Anway it was just after I noticed I had gotten multiverse of madness and was like. Oh boy I should watch that. It was so not better than the meh first. I had not watched a marvel movie since avengers endgame outside of deadpool and guardians of the galaxy. Sooooooo disappointing. (sorry the firefly thing was me trying to explain how watching something I liked a lot did not help with a movie I did not like at all. May have made it worse. I keep wondering that if maybe I watched something garbagey enough before hand that it would have seemed alright by comparison)

I mean most fandom I have seen have more than one wiki as there is more than one wiki company.

This is another example of the type of thing it would be great for conventions and clubs and such to host.

oh man this just get worse and worse. you left out a juicy bit. how did you get to staff? did you find something to hide your shame?

Yeah I get that but it does not make snail mail any more secure. It should be done right but when they are not going to do it right anyway and snail mail is an option. I would prefer to be allowed to take the option taht is at least usable. As it stands now in the US its just legal to not provide you clients with statements because that is what it effectively does.

I mean I want this as part of the system. I actually want my bank statement sent via email without sensitive information in it. I mean I really. really. wish we had what you do but im not keen on digital documentation being an email that says log onto the site. Its like getting a postcard that says hoof it over to the office. Since email is no less secure than snail mail I see no issue with statements going out by email if its just not going to be done properly. I mean I give my accounts nicknames. I don’t need the account numbers on the statements or anything else crazy like my ssn.
